Bill Payment

All students are expected to pay their tuition bills by the due date indicated
on the bill or their schedules will be canceled by the university.

Non-receipt of a bill does not relieve the student from paying/submitting the
bill by the due date.

Only one bill is sent out per semester. Therefore, if it is lost or the
student’s course load is modified, the student may access their account via
myWCU.

Fall Semester bills are due in early to mid-August and Spring Semester bills
are due in mid-December.

Deadlines for tuition payments are set by the Bursar's Office and are always extended to the next business day in the event the university is closed due to inclement weather. Deadlines for other payments such as room deposits, are also routinely extended to the next business day. Students/customers may, however, want to consult with the departments setting the deadline to verify any extension.

For students experiencing financial difficulty, which includes pending financial
aid, the Partial Payment Plan is a viable option.

envelope included with the bill, hand-delivered, or dropped
in the night depository at the Office of the Bursar.

Post-dated checks will not be processed.

University and one for the convenience fee from our vendor.

Company or Agency Billing

Bills that are paid by an employer or an outside agency require
documentation indicating the billing address and amount authorized
to be billed.

This documentation and any amount not covered by company
or agency must be returned with the bill by the due date.

Students, who receive tuition reimbursement upon completion
of the course, are not eligible for this service and must pay
their bill by the due date.

Financial Holds are placed on student accounts with any unpaid balance.
